King Charles III is suffering from a “form of cancer”, discovered during his prostate operation ten days ago, and has begun treatment with no plans to cease his activities, Buckingham Palace announced in a statement on Monday.
Buckingham Palace says the King “remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible”.
He will postpone his public engagements and it is expected other senior royals will help to stand in for him during his treatment.
No further details are being shared on the stage of cancer or a prognosis.
Although he will pause his public events, the King, 75, will continue with his constitutional role as head of state.
He was seen at a church service in Sandringham on Sunday, where he waved to crowds.
